Before discussing the main topic, which is 5 major types of affiliate marketing channels, lets know the meaning of Marketing Channels.

What Is Marketing Channels?

A marketing channel is the set of people, organizations, and activities that work together to transfer goods; that is, products and services from the point of origin to the point of consumption.

A marketing channel is the path or the route a company’s products and services take from the point of production to the end-user.

The primary purpose of a marketing channel is to create a connection between the organization that creates a product or service and prospective customers who may want to purchase it.

There are two main types of Marketing Channel:

1) ONLINE CHANNEL

• Website Marketing
• Pay per click advertising
• Search engine optimization
• Email marketing
• Content marketing
• Affiliate marketing
• Social media marketing
• Mobile marketing
• Video marketing
• Inbound marketing

2) OFFLINE CHANNEL

• SMS marketing
• Television marketing
• Billboard marketing
• Radio Marketing

Affiliate marketing is an ideal solution for those looking to gain control of their own income by focusing on performance-based revenue options. Working in tandem with a seller, a motivated affiliate marketer will be able to achieve a passive income from the comfort of their home without worrying about producing their own product or service.

Although the success of the job does depend on the affiliate’s marketing skills, it can prove to be an effective way to meet your income goals as either a primary career or a profitable second job.

5 MAJOR TYPES OF AFFILIATE MARKETING CHANNELS

Most affiliates share common practices to ensure that their audience is engaged and receptive to purchasing promoted products. But not all affiliates advertise the products in the same way. In fact, there are several different marketing channels they may leverage:

1. Influencers.

An influencer is an individual who holds the power to impact the purchasing decisions of a large segment of the population. This person is in a great position to benefit from affiliate marketing. They already boast an impressive following, so it’s easy for them to direct consumers to the seller’s products through social media posts, blogs, and other interactions with their followers. The influencers then receive a share of the profits they helped to create.

Influencer marketing campaigns are particularly popular on Instagram where brands partner with influencers who are seen as experts or authorities in their specific niches. Depending on the deal, a campaign could consist of a series of product reviews with photos, account takeovers, or live videos. While an influencer might have their own branding and aesthetic, it’s important to add elements that tie-up with your brand to ensure brand recall and recognition. This can be achieved by using apps like Instasize where you can quickly edit and customize your campaign’s creatives in a tap.

2. Bloggers.

With the ability to rank organically in search engine queries, bloggers excel at increasing a seller’s conversions. The blogger samples the product or service and then writes a comprehensive review that promotes the brand in a compelling way, driving traffic back to the seller’s site.

The blogger is awarded for his or her influence in spreading the word about the value of the product, helping to improve the seller’s sales. For example, my article on the best email marketing software includes product reviews and affiliate links.

3. Paid search focused microsites.

Developing and monetizing microsites can also garner a serious amount of sales. These sites are advertised within a partner site or on the sponsored listings of a search engine. They are distinct and separate from the organization’s main site. By offering more focused, relevant content to a specific audience, microsites lead to increased conversions due to their simple and straightforward call to action.

4. Email lists.

Despite its older origins, email marketing is still a viable source of affiliate marketing income. Some affiliates have email lists they can use to promote the seller’s products. Others may leverage email newsletters that include hyperlinks to products, earning a commission after the consumer purchases the product.

Another method is for the affiliate to build an email list over time. They use their various campaigns to collect emails, then send out emails regarding the products they are promoting.

5. Large media websites.

Designed to create a huge amount of traffic at all times, these sites focus on building an audience of millions.

One of the biggest problems I see on a daily basis is all of the “experts” that are popping up left and right online nowadays.

I see people who make their first $10k online go and create their coaching program and teach what they did to make $10k online.

I see people who brand themselves as “7-figure affiliates” but actually become a 7-figure earner by selling their own course or coaching program.

I see people making false income claims saying they make thousands of dollars per day but when you ask for proof, they suddenly can’t seem to find it.

I see people who are multimillionaires and successful themselves, but their students never make any real money online.

I see this stuff every single day.

I also see people who are looking to start an online business join these courses and coaching programs struggle to make their first few sales and then quit because they are discouraged and think it’s impossible to make any money online.

And to be honest, I don’t blame them.

There are thousands of people selling their own coaching program and preaching the dream online but are actually living the nightmare.

Many people scream from the rooftops about how awesome they are, how much money they’ve made, and how many people they will help.

The problem is that it’s all talk.

This was something I experienced myself early on in my business.

I remember in my first 6 months of my business I had 3 different “coaches” that I followed in my own business.

Looking back there were a few red flags that I wish I had realized sooner, but there was 1 big one that I can’t believe I missed.

All of my “coaches” recommended that I send my leads to their $7 offer and then they would convert the leads for me into a high ticket sale.

At first, I thought to myself, “Yeah that is cool. That makes a lot of sense!”

I figured I’m a beginner, I can’t sell high ticket products myself. I’ll let the experts convert them for me.

That makes sense right?

So for a while, I sent all of my leads directly to their $7 courses so they could convert my leads into high ticket sales for me using the “value ladder”.

I did this for about 6 months.

Promoting $7 products and courses and hoping for the “value ladder” to kick in so I could start making some high ticket sales online.

In the 6 months I did this, I made $10 in sales IN TOTAL.

I was listening to my “expert coaches”, why was I not seeing results?

One day, I was reading an email from one of my coaches and I realized something that made my heart sink.

My “coach” was promoting another high ticket product as an affiliate himself.

Wait a minute?

I was on his email list because I had bought his low ticket course from someone else.

And he was promoting another course to me.

Was he doing this to MY leads as well?

I thought that when I sent my leads to the $7 offer that my “coach” was going to promote his offer so I could make a big ticket commission with HIS product.

Why in the world was he promoting ANOTHER high ticket product using the leads that I sent to him?

I was livid!

He was using my leads to sell something else on the backend so he could make big ticket commissions selling other products.

And then I thought of something that really broke my heart.

Were all of my “coaches” doing this with my leads I sent to them?

Is this the reason I was struggling to make high ticket sales?

Is this the reason that all of my “coaches” were making big bucks but all of their students struggled to make any real money using their methods?

I couldn’t believe it.

No wonder I wasn’t seeing any results.

The people I was following and promoting weren’t teaching me anything except how to build THEIR email lists so they could get rich while I struggled to even make my first big sale online.

When I realized this was happening, I felt mentally defeated.

I truly believed that every “coach” in the industry was corrupt and that a beginner like myself was never going to be successful.

Have you had this feeling before?

Have you felt like every single person online is just trying to sell you something and that no one truly cares about seeing you succeed?

If you’ve felt like this, then it truly is not your fault.

I felt like this a few months ago and it made me want to quit and get out of this industry forever.

And to be honest with you, I think this industry is in a lot of trouble.

You will soon find out HOW TO KNOW YOU NEVER SEE ANY SUCCESS WITH AFFILIATE MARKETING COACH. Just continue reading.

There are so many people who are “coaches”, “mentors”, “trainers”, or whatever else you want to call it, who are preaching the dream and saying they can help you…

When in all honesty they just see you as another deposit in their bank account.

It’s hard to find a real leader in this industry.

A real leader that actually does as they teach.

A real leader that doesn’t tell you one thing about your business and then does something completely different.

A real leader that spends less time bragging about themselves and more time building others up.

A real leader that can help you get results and not just take your leads and promote some other big ticket product on the backend.

It’s hard to find someone that is REAL and genuine in this industry.

At this point, it’s almost impossible.

If you’re still reading at this point I want to give you one tip that I wish someone had told me when I was first getting started.

When you’re looking for a mentor or coach to follow, don’t pay attention to how much money the mentor themselves is making.

Pay attention to the success their STUDENTS are having.

Are their students making high ticket commissions online?

Are beginners making their first sales online?

Are their students making $10k, $20k, $50k per month following their guidance?

Are people who follow them ditching their 9-5 jobs?

And most importantly, are a LOT of people seeing success following them or is it just the same 2 or 3 people making money while everyone struggles?

These are the questions I wish I asked when I first got started.

If I did, it would have saved me 6 months of pain, struggling, and frustration in my business.

So, back to the beginning of this post

Following the wrong coach or mentor.

Simple as that.

What exactly is that one particular thing you can sell to make massive income?

The answer is “SOLUTION”.

And not just SOLUTION, but a solution to a problem of a wide range of people.

Do you wonder why people go to pastors, Iman, or herbalist?

Because they are seen as people who have solutions to problems, either physically or most especially spiritually.

Naturally, every business is selling one particular solution or the other.

But if you want to achieve massive success in your business, you need sell a solution that is needed by a massive amount of people.

Sell a solution that people will continue to need from generation to generation.

I’m going to tell you the categories of solutions that will be needed from generation to generation.

But before then…

Why do you need to sell a solution that solve a massive amount of peoples problem?

Remember the more people need your solution, the more they’re willing to get it.

And when they’re willing to get the solution to their problems, they’re willing to exchange their money for it.

And the more they’re giving you their money to get your solution, the more you’re making money.

It’s not an assumption, it’s a fact and it’s real.

Bill gates, Jeff bezos, Dangote and many other successfull individuals are selling a solution that massive numbers of people needs in their respective business categories.

Let me give you an illustration

Mr A sells a program on “how to play a drum set”

Mr B sells a program on how to loose 10lbs in 30 days

But Mr B sold more than Mr A

What did Mr A did that made him little or no sales?

That’s because he was selling to a smaller niche.

The real thing is, how many people have a “drum set”?

And how many people are interested in learning how to play it?

So it resulted in little or no sales for his because his product was targeted at a niche with a tiny audience.

Meanwhile, Mr B sold more of his product because lots of people (most especially women) want to loose some heavy weight, so they can look fit and sxy.

That is it!

Look at the marketplace and study what are the major problems that “So Many people” are facing and ask yourself what is the possible solution to their problems.

Figure this out and sell that solution to them and you’ll make massive income.

What are the categories of solutions that will be needed by massive numbers of people from generation to generation .

1. Make money
2. Health/weight loss
3. Relationship
4. Real Estate & Travels

These are the major ones

Why?

1. Because as we move from One generation to another, people will continue to look for how they can become financially free while working from home online, and make money online businesses will still be there as a solution to their problem.

2. As we move from One generation to another, people will continue to have health problems and will continue look for a solution to their health problems.

3. As we move from One generation to another, people will continue to meet with opposite sx to get married and will want to learn how to connect and build a beautiful relationship with to achieve their goal (which is to get married).

4) As we move from one generation to another, people will continue to buy and sell their properties, people will continue to travel from one place to another seeking for greener pastures, education, business purposes, or to get married.

So these four categories will continue to be in existence forever and ever.

It can never stops

So if you have a product that falls in any of these categories, congratulations to you because what you have is unlimited numbers of customers who are waiting to buy what you’re selling.

The post ONE THING TO SELL TO MAKE MASSIVE INCOME appeared first on ThingsCouplesDo.

As a newbie affiliate marketer I would advise you to start with organic (natural) leads instead of spending your money on paid ads (except you know how to convert your paid traffic into sales).

Generating leads organically helps you to build like and trust with people who don’t know you.

NOTE THIS : Generating organic leads will require your effort and time to build quality audience except you are not willing to put in the effort.

Many people don’t know how to generate organic leads because they don’t know what to do.

So, today I’m going to be showing you how to generate quality leads without spending a dime on paid ads.

1. Make a list of the problems your target audience is facing because people will only give you money to solve their problems.

For example, you’re reading this post because it will help you solve your problem of generating organic leads.

This is how to build authority or make yourself an authority.

Stop making posts about yourself and want you like.

Stop writing motivational quotes. Nobody really cares. That’s not their problem.

Start being strategic with your posts. Your posts should be directed towards solving people’s problems and answering their questions.

2. Now that you know the challenges people always face in your target niche, the next thing to do is to build a valuable content around it.

What you should do next after this, is to join different social media platforms like Facebook groups, Instagram, telegram, Twitter, etc and start sharing your contents because your potential buyers are all gathered around these platforms.

3. Make helpful posts consistently. This helps you to create awareness. When you join a Facebook group make meaningful posts.

Stop going about spamming people with your sales links or else people wondn’t take you seriously.

Give value through your posts and I guarantee you, you will begin to attract high value clients.

4. Make meaningful comments on people’s post.

Give intelligent answers. Don’t make nonesense comments.

If you don’t understand what has been written kindly ask a question instead of writing trash.

Lastly, people need help. If you give value by helping these people, you shall get value in return.
